Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The dazzling and intricate stories in Lee Upton's latest collection frequently draw inspiration from books--books as art objects or lost objects, as inspiration or points of contention. 'Night Walkers' tells the story of the world's laziest book club, while 'A Story's End' follows a woman's search for the last book read by her mother before her sudden death. In the surreal yet playful tradition of Karen Russell and George Saunders, Visitations brings together seventeen incandescent short stories from a writer at the height of her powers.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Washington and Lee University, 1930-2000 tells the history of one of the nation's oldest colleges as it evolved to face changes in higher education and in American society. In the early part of the twentieth century, Washington and Lee was a small, all-male institution known for its conservative inclinations, coats and ties, social life dominated by fraternities, and venerable honor system run exclusively by students. In the seven decades after 1930, the university confronted economic depression and world war, and faced the challenges and opportunities posed by subsidized athletics, integration, changing student customs and attitudes, new emphases in higher education, and the controversial move to coeducation. Each of the presidents who led the university during this era encouraged Washington and Lee to adapt to new demands while retaining its core traditions and identity.
